Lincoln Country Club has a scenic landscape of hardwood forests and meandering creeks. Although it might not seem like anything special on first glance, the golf course is actually one of the area's hidden gems. The traditional design has a surprisingly formidable test. The challenging golf course has a front nine with tree-lined fairways and small greens that demand accuracy. While the back nine is more open, it's no less challenging. Shot placement will still be an important factor when maneuvering the greens. Ponds and creeks come into play throughout and there are strategically placed bunkers lurking along many of the greensides. The Lincoln Country Club golf course finishes with a tough par 4 that demands an accurate tee shot with out-of-bounds on the right and a creek on the left. Don't underestimate the undulating green, it has seen many three-putts in its time.

Nice challenge and will play there again in my mix.

Front 9 enhancements we're great with some good challenges. Back nine is getting there but needs the 18th hole redesigned. Great value overall.

SLOW pace.

Let’s start by saying, the course is nice, but there’s apartments being built on hole #1 and #2… which wasn’t an issue until the I couldn’t see the green on the #2 par 3 due to construction fencing (short black plastic fencing, but still). The front 9 was definitely more difficult for me, but the back had plenty of challenges itself. The overall condition was nice. The greens were a little long which made them fairly slow, but they weren’t terrible. The rough is ROUGH. It’s traditional Bermuda thick grass that will completely swallow a ball to where you can hardly see it. The fairways were very nicely maintained.

The BAD - pace of play was absolutely treacherous. I ended up skipping two holes to go around 4 foursomes. There’s no marshal to monitor, or adjust the tempo, and tee times are not monitored AT ALL.

Overall verdict - I really enjoyed the course. Everything about it was great, but the tee time management was so bad I can’t recommend it. In the middle of the week it’s probably fine, but on a Sunday afternoon it’s unbearable. As long as you have money to spend, they’ll throw you in there. It’s worth $10 more to me to go to other courses that are manicured just as well (if not better) and also manage pace of play.

Long thick roughs

Fairways in good condition. Roughs very long and thick, making it difficult to find the ball and significantly slowing play. Sand traps hard packed and populated with small stones. Some greens held the approach shot. Greens rolled true and were medium to slow speed.

Overpriced for an Average Course

It had been a year since my son and I player here. The back nine had quite a few repaved cart paths. There were no maintenance people seen and conditions were average. The rough is clutching grass. It is hard to find your ball and hard to hit. There are many better condition and less expensive courses in the area.

good luck finding your golf ball !!

I've never played this course before. Its a beautiful layout, but if you are a high handicapper, don't bother. The bermuda rough is not trimmed and if you miss the fairway, the rough literally eats your ball (maybe one bounce with no roll). You need to remember EXACTLY where your ball lands or you'll probably never see it again. I showed up for my afternoon tee time, and the guy in the pro shop informed me that if I wanted to play 18 holes, I would have to play the front nine twice, since " we have a large group coming to play at 5PM." Most of the fairways are pretty narrow, and I lost 10 balls in 9 holes and left. The only way I'll play this course again is if I become a 5-handicap golfer (and that will never happen).

The course was in good condition

The course has a good layout. There are a few sharp doglegs where you need to hit your tee shot the right distance. Overall the course had good conditions. Will definitely play it again.

Great Value

One of the better value courses in the Charlotte area. Green greens! Some tee boxes and bunkers need some TLC but overall a good fun course!
